The Niagara energy benchmark chart retrieves energy meter histories and presents them on a comparison chart. The chart should be bound to a numeric point or numeric writable. It updates in real-time and uses bql queries to collate the data. Set the daily/monthly benchmark values in the charts configuration. Use the date/time picker for narrowed searches. The chart has a number of configurable properties that can be used to modify look, feel, and functionality. Also check out the Energy View Template.
